I haven’t done a News and Notes post in a while, and there’s a lot to discuss, so here goes… Yesterday Clint Hurdle said the Pirates were “at a crossroads” with Neil Walker after he was once again forced to sit out with his back issue. Neil has only started one game since last Friday, but his […]

- It’s a start. Two series wins in a row – yes, the Pirates should have swept, and yes, they still have a LOT of work to do, but this is a start. The Pirates finally appear to have some life – and the impressive part is that (unlike this weekend), this series win came […]

Sunday’s quest for a sweep failed miserably, but the Pirates won 2 out of 3. That’s a start — it’s the first series win for the Bucs since the third series of the year, April 10th against the Cubs. The two comeback wins were very exciting and it was great to see the team finally […]

This was the kind of game that can only really happen when you’re in a slump and nothing seems to go right. The Pirates are in one of those slumps and lost another close, frustrating game. Even the Pirates’ favorite opposing pitcher Shelby Miller couldn’t get the offense going. I don’t even think he pitched […]

The Pirates got a quick victory on Tuesday afternoon, but let a chance to wrap up a series win slip away in the nightcap as the Reds bounced back with a win. The two teams will meet for the third time in less than 24 hours at 12:35 — a rematch of the Wild Card […]

The Pirates ended up with another series win against the Cubs, making them 3-for-3 in winning series so far this year, but this one sure wasn’t easy. Tuesday’s win was a nailbiter, Wednesday was a pretty ugly loss, and Thursday’s win required a big comeback and a scary ninth inning. Even though you’d like to […]

Tuesday, 8:05 (ROOT): Charlie Morton vs. Edwin Jackson Wednesday, 8:05 (ROOT, WGN): Wandy Rodriguez vs. Jason Hammel Thursday, 2:20 (ROOT, MLBN, WGN): Gerrit Cole vs. Travis Wood The Pirates play every NL Central opponent once at home and once on the road before playing anybody else this year, and they are getting the Cubs out […]
